5. You're welcome, Cha.

Learned about movie when my daughter texted me, asked if I was watching, and told me of her acquaintance with Temple Grandin, who lectured at daughter's Univ. Daughter assisted her in finding route out of Philly, as Dr. Grandin had/has panic attacks due to her autism.

It was a fascinating movie and I think they were true to Temple Grandin's life story. Claire Danes did a wonderful job too.

I was so happy for everyone involved with the making of
'Temple Grandin'!!

Claire Dane was outstanding as Temple.
It was great to see the real Temple there

Happy Tears! :)
